Surveying the Wreckage
People that don’t care
boosted some of the cook books,
leaving us bereft.
Ransacked the handbags,
took all of the lovely plants,
cast aside photos.
A last chance to look-
we didn’t want it ourselves,
just a communion.
It is the silly things
that blaze in our childhood sight
that are important.
So keep your treasures-
You were not one that she loved.
Sell them if you must.
She would have wanted
to help any of you folks-
she was just that way.
